Beginning in 1952, Wethersfield (CT) Country Club became the home of a PGA event, the Insurance City Open. Kids flocked to the club to caddy and, if they were good enough, would caddy for the PGA tour players who played in the event. There were no professional caddies as there are now. Instead, every golf professional--be it Palmer or Nicklaus or Player or Trevino-- had a different kid on his bag each week as he worked his way around the country, trying to make a buck. My friends and I were those kids and this is our story.

Autorenporträt
The author was born and enjoyed an idyllic childhood in the wilderness of rural Connecticut. He looked for dinosaur footprints in the shale, fished and hunted as a reason to be outdoors and started a long career at the bar after graduating from UCONN and SUFFOLK LAW SCHOOL. His passion for language led him to become an essay writer, eventually expanding into memoirs and fiction. His writing draws upon a wide experience at the bar along with an even broader experience of people at home in Boston and abroad. His inspiration comes from all those who have suffered him over the years but mainly from a large family that has saved him from both cynicism and self-regard. Mr. Rowe's Swedish mother followed the custom of leaving something on her plate whenever she was a guest for dinner. That little tidbit told the hosts that her hunger was satisfied and that their hospitality appreciated. That custom informed his life once he was old enough to understand it.
